EvergreenHealth has brought in EvergreenHealth Spine & Neurosurgery Care to the health system’s network of specialty care practices. The newly added practice will be led by Dr. Mark Freeborn, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in complex minimally invasive spine surgery.

“Dr. Freeborn is a distinguished physician who is highly regarded in his field and has been a familiar face on our campus for many years. We are pleased to welcome him to our organization, and to expand our diverse group of specialty care with EvergreenHealth Spine & Neurosurgery Care,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte.

EvergreenHealth Spine & Neurosurgery Care specializes in diagnosing, treating and repairing the conditions that cause back pain using the least invasive and most effective methods to reduce or eliminate discomfort.

According to Freeborn, many patients who suffer from back pain can be treated with conservative approaches using physical therapy and non-surgical pain management. For those who do need surgery, EvergreenHealth Spine & Neurosurgery Care offers the most advanced and least invasive procedures that are tailored to each patient’s individual condition and concerns for the best possible outcome.

As part of the practice’s comprehensive approach to treatment, patients are also connected to rehabilitative care at EvergreenHealth that uses innovative technologies to aid patients on their way to becoming fitter, faster and stronger than they were prior to their injury or condition. Interventions including pre- and post-surgical therapies, ergonomic assessments, gait analysis, customized orthotics and sport assessments work in tandem to revitalize patients at every step of their path to recovery.

Freeborn, who was selected as one of Seattle Magazine’s “Top Docs” in 2015, is board certified in orthopedic surgery. He earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Washington / Harborview Medical Center.

EvergreenHealth Spine & Neurosurgery Care is located on the health system’s Kirkland campus in the Evergreen Surgery and Physician Center at 12333 NE 130th Lane, Suite 400, Kirkland, WA 98035 and serves all of Northshore.
